There's been a lot of terrible comments about Angelina Jolie's decision, but those have been mostly in the misogynist 'women's bodies are public property' sort of vein. I haven't really seen that much of this sort of 'I don't understand science' stuff though. There has been a lot of failure to understand exactly how high risk she was and underplaying that, but I'm not sure if that's just poor reading comprehension or poor math skills.

But Etheridge's beliefs about cancer are certainly as valid as any oncologist's or medical researcher's, right?

FarkinHostile:Actually, Breast Cancer is caused by an imbalance of bodily humors, perhaps caused by a toad or a small dwarf living in her stomach.

The Caladrius Bird is placed beside a patient. If the bird looks at a patient's face, she should have her breasts removed; but if it looks at her feet, she should not.

The women on my mom's side of the family have BRAC running through them like kudzu in the South. We've had three double mastectomies in the last 10 years, not to mention my mom dying at 29 from breast cancer. Miss Etheridge can go fark herself.

InfidelSavant:Listening to her on Joe Rogan's podcast a couple months ago, she's not the sanest woman in the world.

came her to say that!

interview was pretty cool but yeah, she believes you manifest what happens to you. cancer? you musta been thinking about cancer. raped? probably did something to bring it on yourself. seriously. she has this kind of philosophy. "i got cancer because probably i was doing stuff i shouldn't have been doing, i brought it on myself."

Either way, it's all bullshiat.

Sometimes it makes me sad, though... Angie's rack being gone. I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. But still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss her teats.
